I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

Stop with the self-promotion spam. This is at least the fifth account and fourth community you have used this week to promote this project.
Ohh nooo a developer who built something we can’t have him taking about his thing that’s a big Nono oh no no no
Haha, I appreciate the backup! Honestly, I totally get why the other person was annoyed—using multiple accounts was a really clumsy/noob way for me to try and find the right community for this. I'm just a solo dev who is way better at C# than I am at 'marketing.' Just glad to finally find a crowd that appreciates the 'cursed' nature of the app!
I saw it for the first time and find it hilarious. Am on Linux (arch btw) so not possible to run it myself unfortunately but had a laugh and am happy you shared it so many times.
Thanks a lot. Being appreciated after weeks of researching the logic behind (even this is just a joke app lol) really means a lot to me. Also, I'm not trying to hide any of my mistakes while using Lemmy, even though they are not my intention, and I have just used the Lemmy platform for more than 1 week. But I do believe it is still my fault for not understanding this earlier. I will take this as a lesson for future actions instead of just relying on the servers/communities rules. And also make my words less formal just letting you know im not a clanker lol. Thanks again for your motivation and support. ^.^
lol tbh I didn’t read the part about multiple accounts wtf is that about lol
It's exactly as awkward as it looks, lol. Basically, I’m a solo dev who is way better at C# than I am at "The Internet". I kept getting my posts auto-deleted for "Advertising" rules on my first account, and in my panic, I thought the account itself as "shadowbanned" or something. So I kept making new ones trying to find a community where the project actually "fit" without getting nuked. Total amateur move—I realized too late that it just makes me look like a bot farm. I'm nuking the other accounts and sticking to this one now!
Writing all of your comments with ChatGPT isn't doing you any favors.
man i can't win lol. i literally just tried to reply to this but my comment got nuked by the auto-mod for 'profanity.'
but yeah, you caught me—i’m from vietnam and my english is shaky, so i’ve been using tools to polish my grammar because i didn't want to look like a sketchy spammer. turns out over-polishing it just makes me look like a 'clanker' anyway.
i'll stop trying to sound professional and just stick to my actual brain. i'm a real dev, just bad at the social part of the internet. my bad.
That's what I thought at first. But the fact that you now say "i’ll stop trying to sound professional and just stick to my actual brain" while still using AI just makes it worse
Honestly, I have no idea what you are thinking right now. It sounds like the more I try to explain, the more I'm getting accused of. The purpose of this post is to be funny, yes. But also to share my technical project while still using the correct terminology to create a clear communication and understanding of both the creator and the viewers (yes, I spent a lot of time thinking if using this 'word' is correct or not because English is not my native language! But it seems like those efforts backfired on me). I do not offend you or anything, but I would prefer any other positive words or any coding question, so that others can not just laugh, but learn new things too, instead of keeping focus on this topic.
Caught me. English isn't my first language (I'm from Vietnam), so I’ve been using tools to help me fix my grammar because I didn't want to sound like a 2005 spam email.
I guess I over-polished it and ended up sounding like a 'clanker' anyway lol. Just a real guy trying to share a project without looking like a total idiot. I'll stick to my actual broken English from now on. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Its applied to new users and disabled once we are sure they arent going to spam abuse images. It is aggressive, it does suck that we have to do this. We dont like it either.
Hm clanker says what?

Wow, calling me a clanker... now I actually feel offended 💀:/
You caught me. Honestly, I'm just a solo dev who is incredibly bad at 'marketing.' I kept getting my posts deleted on other accounts because I didn't understand the 'No Ad' rules, so I kept trying to find a community that actually liked the project. I realize now that having multiple accounts looks super sketchy—I’m deleting the others and just keeping this one. I really just wanted to share the user32.dll hack I was proud of. My bad!
